DESCRIPTION:
With actual examples from aroundthe world, it also has very practical sections on how to use drones effectively - asusual there is never a substitute for carefully thinking out a project in advance.This comes at a time when the pressure on nature and biological diversity isunprecedented, and, unfortunately, accelerating. Their ubiquity and uses proliferate faster thanneeded good sense of where they are appropriate and when not. Yes there are insights thatcan only come from careful on the ground field research, but the ability of dronesto soar over the conservation priority at hand is rapidly empowering conservationand conservation science.Kike Calvo, a highly talented National Geographic Creative photographer andconservationist, had the prescience to understand the potential of drones. So anything technology can doto make the collective conservation enterprise more effective is highly welcomeand will benefit future generations.The conservation and science conservation community owe a debt of gratitudefor this energetic young photographer and conservationist.

With actual examples from around the world, it also has very practical sections on how to use drones effectively - as usual there is never a substitute for carefully thinking out a project in advance."Thomas E. , National Geographic Conservation Fellow."A great resource for those interested in the growing application of drones and drone mapping for conservation. "Drones for conservation is essentially just in its infancy, but while we can lament the possible consequent avoidance of a good slog of a field study, we can already see multiple benefits falling from the skies as it were/ So Drones for Conservation is very much a first. Lovejoy, Ph.D. Collected from a variety of fields and professionals, this information comes from forestry, environmental studi
Good streamwhuddle Quick service. Good info. "Inspiring and informative guide" according to Grace. This is a ground-breaking book when it comes to contemporary drone uses. Mr Calvo offers an expert analysis of how various drone technologies are working for a very broad spectrum of conservation mapping or monitoring applications around the world.The author explores 21 case studies of university scientists, zoos, archeologists, marine biologists, disaster response agencies, and others actively using drones to facilitate their research, or to preserve history, or to protect sensitive ecological areas or species.The book informs and inspires, and is written clearly . Interesting field studies. Mr Calvo throughout this book is very informative, his experience and understanding in the field certainly shows. It is a great reference to the development of Drones being used for conservation and recording of the unique areas that these tools are a benefit to as well as recording the data for future reference and lessons.I am an experienced hobby and commercial drone flyer and find the guide an example of how to record and keep records of what has been achieved.For those with an interest in the benefits of drones within conservation, go an buy it, it has a lot t
